From Where You Dream: The Process of Writing Fiction by Janet Burroway, Robert Olen Butler

4.0

This was an interesting read. It has a few lectures from Robert Olen Butler as well as some exercises and then some short stories by his students and his reactions to them.

I found this interesting as it's not one of the usually recommended writing books so it was good to see Rober Olen Butler's approach. It has some great nuggets of writing advice in it and has a wonderful part explaining what is meant by 'show don't tell'

Some parts of the advice weren't for me, but overall still a very helpful book (and now my copy has plenty of highlighted passages)!
